The Telling of the Story.
Sillick, Audrey
NAMTA Journal, v22 n1 p64-80 Win 1997
Evoking storytelling as a human tendency, suggests that stories involve sight, sound, rhythm, voice, and spontaneous imagination. Claims that because stories appeal to children's inner lives, they are optimal for communicating "life and human relationships and the totality of the natural world." Also claims that stories encourage listening skills and link learning to real life and the collective past. (KDFB)
